>1) What exactly is a volume reference number, how are they assigned, etc.
a volume reference number is like a directory "ID" number. Sure, maybe DOS
style might be easier in the begining, but you an ID is much quicker in the
long run.
>2) How can you get the vrefnum of a volume if you know it's name and/or> SCSI address?>3) How do you get the vrefnum of the startup disk?
Rick and the Staz site have lots of routines for this type of stuff.
>4) How do vrefnums on shared disks work?
Hehe, I don't know. I would guess the same way.
>5) What's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and> everything?
